Army Leadership Philosophy

The legacy leader attributes and competencies that I would like to leave behind for the Army, NCO Corps, and my Soldiers are resiliency, mental agility, lead and develop others, to lead by example, and discipline. For resiliency, I believe I have shown it to my Soldiers by never quitting on myself and pushing myself to the limit every day. In 2006, I was ran off the road, riding my motorcycle resulting in a compound closed fracture, my left tibia being broken in two places and a broken left ankle. My first of six surgeries did not go as planned due to doctor error in which one of the instruments used during the surgery were not cleaned properly resulting in an internal infection inside my tibia. The infection causes me to stay in the hospital for 28 days an endure a second surgery in which they removed 6 screws and a rod from my left tibia, four screws and a plate from my left ankle, hollow out the inside of my tibia and remove 40 percent of the tendons and muscle from my shin, then replacing all the hardware.

In this paper I have constructed my thoughts and ideas into what my leadership philosophy will consist of. Leadership is a process that continues to evolve, so embrace the change and challenge. We must place a high value on family, and lastly exhibit attributes and competencies of the Army Leadership Model. Today’s leaders forget the importance of families which the most important thing we have supporting our Soldiers. They also forget that they too were once in their shoes.

This paper explores how leadership styles affect U.S. Army communications. The sources of Army organizational power are considered, as are how those powers affect group communications. Several motivational theories are applied to the Army context. This paper explores the role communications plays as part of these theories. Finally discussed is the Army's workforce's commitment to the organization and their relationship to Army communications.

It is my honor to share my Command Philosophy with you. My intent is to ensure we

Leadership can be defined in various ways. Walter F Ulmer, Jr a retired Lieutenant General in the United States Army (Dyer, 2015), defines leadership as an influencing factor where a leader gains the trust and commitment of its followers without the use of an authority position to achieve set goals (Sadler, 2003, P.5). Autocratic and democratic styles of leadership are based on two early studies on behaviour done by two American researchers, White and Lippitt carried out in 1939 and 1940 (Sadler, 2003, P.63). Autocratic leader delegates instructions expecting team members to follow through without asking for any explanation. This type of leadership style leads to unskilled followers as they are continuously doing what they are told, without

Army Leadership is something that is close to our heart. From the time I decided to become soldier until now, army leadership has molded my choices and actions consistently. I am providing a summary of Army leadership and my experience with it. In order to be a successful leader, a soldier must apply the basics of Army Leadership. The basics of Army Leadership are consistent for any Army leader throughout his or her career.

What is the description of a leader? Honor, respect, dignity, self-confidence, kindness, etc.? Moreover, what is the portrait of a leader? Is it the man who is able to stand in front of a crowd of thousands? Or the man who sits in his office, addressing the public through a TV screen? Is it the man who struggles for the rights he was born with, that people refuse to hand to him? Or is it the man who goes to jail after fighting for liberty and justice? These are all fine examples of leaders. It does not matter what their claim is. They all eventually die with honor, gain respect, and had the self-confidence to go public and go the extremes in order to obtain righteousness. There is nothing wrong with a leader failing, but future leaders

My leadership style is reflective of my military experience. I believe that in order to be an effective leader you should be respected by your subordinates as well as your supervisors. Subordinates, in turn tend to respect you if you take enough interest in what they do outside as well as inside the work environment, which builds morale thus creating a better work environment. Management understands this and promotes it, which decreases absenteeism and increases productivity.

My leadership philosophy is best conveyed by example. All units have standards we must achieve. I believe in exceeding them at all times. I intend to demonstrate that by exceeding them myself. I know that not every Soldier is physically capable of maxing their PT test every time or qualifying expert on their assigned weapon, but if the effort and desire to do so is put forth, then we as an organization can be satisfied with meeting the standard in those instances. I believe in letting all Soldiers, leaders and subordinates alike, be themselves so long as it does not hinder the mission or degrade unit readiness. I expect integrity and accountability at all levels. Missions fail when Soldiers sacrifice integrity and fail

We are at a critical point in our history in America. For the second time in a century we have been attacked on our own soil and forced to defend ourselves against a global threat. Due to this treat our soldiers have been able to lead abroad; and here in the homeland giving them a variety of ways to give purpose direction and motivation to accomplish any mission given to them. The military is notorious for developing leaders that have been able to run multi-billion dollar organizations. Everywhere you go businesses cry out for leadership, leadership necessary to build better and more competitive products. Most

I believe leadership is taking a front line in delivering the best out of people around you. Not only doing the task but putting yourself in front in accomplish the task. Early this year we had a project of changing the core system for our entire organization. The progress was fine but the project came to roadblock when some of the financial reports were missing. The reports were crucial tool for monitoring the financial performance of the organization. Personnel assigned to deliver the reports were did not complete the task and were not in the position to accomplish them. I was given the task to deliver the reports within three weeks so that when the new system goes online the reports will be ready. After going through the requirements i realized some reports represented similar data, just minor differences existed, so i decided to group

To be a professional is to grasp, embrace, and effectively practice the expertise of a profession. To be a Human Resource professional you must be able to be a leader, a mentor and knowledgeable in your roles as an Officer or a Non-Commissioned Officer. These roles include the Army Values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Service, Honor, Integrity, and Courage. A Human Resource Professional must always be able to integrate these values into their daily profession.
